I'm Mary - published author, teacher, daughter, sister, wife, mother, friend, and colleague living in rural upstate New York...and as you can probably tell, I'm also a necessary practitioner of multi-tasking!

All the details about why I have this website are in my "Welcome" message at the top of the Home page (along with links to further information, also reached through the menu above ), so I will only add here that I'm glad you found me! Thanks for visiting. Please consider joining my "blog family" by clicking one of the "follow" buttons below, won't you? I look forward to getting to know you better.

“Mother” Moment

I rarely post “braggy” things, but as I did once before last autumn, I want to share a short video of my younger daughter singing a portion of “On My Own” from Les Miserables at the conclusion of a “Broadway Camp” that she attended, taught by Broadway professionals, this past week. That’s why she’s not in costume or otherwise “in character”.

My daughter is 14 and was the youngest participant, but she got so much from the program. And yes, I’m her mom, but even if I wasn’t, I’d love the maturity and tone of her voice. She’s really a soprano (I’ll do another short video of her singing in some of those ranges later this week) but you’d never know it from this performance.

Thanks for letting me indulge in these occasional “mother” moments. 🙂 And if you decide to click and listen, I hope you enjoy.

Since you’d asked for more clips, I remembered I did post a clip of her singing in a production of The Little Mermaid (she played Ursula the Sea Witch) last November. You can find it here: https://mreedmccall.com/2014/11/15/talent/ 🙂
